Nintendo Mutes Miyamoto
Nintendo's resident genius developer, Shigeru Miyamoto has often dipped into the well of personal experience (as creative genius is wont to do) when creating his famous games. Both Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda were inspired by Shiggy the Great's childhood experiences, while Pikmin is said to have arose from Miyamoto's interest in gardening. Similar stories surround Wii Fit and Nintendogs.
Also, Shiggy + banjo = Wii Music, apparently. So it's not all wine and roses.
Since the parity between Miyamoto's recreational life and his game ideas seems particularly strong, it makes a kind of evil, twisted sense that Nintedo has unofficially banned Shigery Miyamoto from discussing his hobbies in public, lest we crafty gamers put two and two together and surmise Nintendo's next big thing.
Like, say, Wii Masturbate or Wii Smalltalk? Or even Wii I-Like-Pleats-In-My-Pants!

I would totally play Wii Masturbate.
I can just imagine the Wii peripheral they'll bring out for that game.
I want to try that Pleats game.
Shigery? What? Is that an intentional typo?
